Please check with your health service to see if they offer SilverCloud. *** SilverCloud - Digital CBT SilverCloud provides a wide range of supportive and interactive programs, tools and strategies for managing mental and behavioral health issues. These programs cover topics such as anxiety, depression, general wellbeing, stress, anger management, improving sleep, communication skills and much more. Clinical insight and experience is at the heart of SilverCloud's program development process. The evidence-based programs have been researched and written by subject matter experts. Tools The programs also offer a broad variety of interactive tools including a journal, a mood monitor, goal setting, audio meditations and many more. These tools aim to empower users to proactively manage and improve their mental and behavioral health.

During their review, your coach will reply to your messages and queries, while offering guidance on your next step towards thinking and feeling better. HealthKit Integration If you grant access to HealthKit when prompted, time spent in the app will be recorded as mindfulness minutes and will be available for viewing in Apple's HealthKit.
